 ====== Other Unique Xfce Features =====
-===== Add newlines to a panel ======
-Xfce allows full control over multi-line panel configuratinos, via the Separator component.  Simply add a separator to your panel, move it to where you'd like a new line to begin, edit its properties, and change its "style" drop-down to "New Line."
+====== Xfconf =====
+===== Toggle panel autohide =====
